From point A, draw a line segment at an angle to the given line, and about the same length. The exact length is not important. Set the compasses on A, and set its width to a bit less than one fifth of the length of the new line. Step the compasses along the line, marking off 5 arcs. Label the last one C. With the compasses' width set to CB, draw an arc from A just below it. With the compasses' width set to AC, draw an arc from B crossing the one drawn in step 4. This intersection is point D. Draw a line from D to B. Using the same compasses' width as used to step along AC, step the compasses from D along DB making 4 new arcs across the line. Draw lines between the corresponding points along AC and DB. Done. The lines divide the given line segment AB in to 5 congruent parts.

His basic salary is $ 2,500, his commission on sales is 3% (on sales only)
At the end of te month he got $3,040

Let x be the TOTAL sales performed during this month, so the money generated from sales (only) is (x).(3%), Hence the equation:

2500 + (x).(3%) = 3040
2500 + x(0.03) = 3040
x(0.03) = 3040-2500
x(0.03) = 540

and x = 540/0.03
x = $18,000
